Go ahead and keep deleting it. I will keep putting it back.
\_ the truth shall set you free. I find it more accurate to search
for the word "israel" in the actual letter of the law. As in here
http://www.congress.gov/cgi-bin/query/C?c107:./temp/~c107bC8waW
I've gone back a few years. Israel always get more than Egypt
despite what garbage alexf spews. The truth shall set you
\_ care to elaborate on this reference? (and while
you're at it, give a functional url and sign
your name) -alexf
free.
\_ israel should try giving some of the money to the arabs.

1/28 Anyone have an extra ticket for the sleater-kinney shows in
San Francisco next week? I would do just about anything
to buy your extra. - danh
\_ Would you get my sheep off? He's more used to getting his ass
plugged and I'd like to make it up to him somehow.
\_ Then give him a reach around. Geez, how hard is that? I know
there isn's a man page on sheep, but try to use your brain...
\_ I don't do reach around. It's about my cock, not his. I do
have an extra ticket if danh is interested.
\_ Yes, please contact me to negotiate.
\_ Nonono! Contact *me* to negotiate! I've got better tickets that
the h0zer above.
\_ My sheep does!
\_ My sheep has tickets! Will trade for services!
\_ goddamn you are funny!
\_ You should really consider my sheeps' offer. He's quite serious
about an exchange for services.
\_ Sleater-Kinney?! yeah! I have 3 extra tickets! you should have
asked earlier.

1/28 Anybody get an unsolicited "I just found your resume"-type job
opening email from Google lately? I just got something that
seems plausible but can't tell if its just some spammer's
attempt to get my email address.
\_ don't trust it. google doesn't hire. everyone there is a volunteer.
\_ May well be, but then again, I finally got a job when a
recruiter mailed me up out of the blue. Still don't know how
she found my resume, don't care either.
\_ everyone who ever had your resume has resold it dozens of times.
\_ Hope no one paid much for it. It's free on my web site.
In any event, I'm not complaining about a 6 fig job.
\_ probably not an email spammer, but maybe a headhunteror or a wierdo.
\_ There is a message envelope, right? Doesn't that sufficiently show
that it came from Google? Google is hiring. -mgoodman
\_ Maybe... maybe not:
http://csua.org/u/893 (fucked company)
\_ This is an incoherent rant, even by fc standards.
\_ fc has no standards.
\_ Will you submit my resume for me?
\_ You can reply to these things if you want but it won't matter.
These are 99.999% likely to be some sort of bottom feeder recruiter
types but replying will *not* get you a job and may in fact ruin
your chances if they fax blast you to 5000+ potential employers.
I no longer reply to these people as I've never gotten so much as
an email reply back.
\_ i don't think you have enough statistics to state that number to
five digits.
\_ You are mistaken. We adhere strictly to 5 Nines quality
standards.
\_ having dealt with millions of these cretins, I believe I do
have five9s quality data to backup that statement's
statistical validity. Even if I'm only four9s correct, it
still won't get you a job and might ruin your chances of
doing so. Just delete. Do not reply to these things.

1/29 Fuck Jimmy Kimmel. Snoop Dogg should have his own talk show.
\_ My rule-of-thumb is that I know I've let a night go to waste if I'm
watching one of the late night shows.
\_ Amen. After all the hype, that was one of the weakest shows
I've ever seen. < 1 month before it gets canceled...
\_ Mellow out. All of the late night staples took a few months
to find their voice. And even now, they can't get kicked off.
\_ Who?
\_ New night-time talk show ala Leno/Letterman. More crass, at
least judging by the pilot episode after the Superbowl. They
kept saying "cock" on nat'l TV, referring to the poultry, of
course.
\_ And this was different from the Man Show how, exactly?
\_ Female audience member: "Why do guys act so pleased with
themselves when they make rude comments about women?"
Kimmel: "I don't know, but nice rack!"
\_ Ideally less crude, more mainstream, fewer skits, no girls
on trampolines, and they've cut the bar out (people puking
and being bad drunks for TV).
\_ I went to a taping a few weeks back. It wasn't that similar to the
Man Show. Closer to Letterman actually. But with Jimmy Kimmel.

1/29 http://www.press-citizen.com/news/012903drugs.htm
This is the problem with kids today and Bush's Nazi scheme to have
everyone reporting on everyone else. It's insanity! Let Snead go!
\_ The Communist China did it the best. They taught the kids to report
any "anti-revolution" behavior to the govt. There was even a govt.
slogan which went like "You don't want dad, you don't want mom, you
only want the country!"
\_ it was during the height of Mao's rule. I think people
in China today resent this and other aspect of the political
movement started by him.
\_ They've got nothing on that moron Bush. Our "President".
\_ Ain't mine, I didn't voted for him, and I still don't
think he won Florida legally.
\_ Right on! I'm with you! I'm putting my money where my
mouth is and not paying any Federal taxes while he's
illegally in office.
\_ Every kid loves show-n-tell day!

1/29 "Would you like to have this phone? Or would you like to have the
phone holder?"
http://csua.org/u/899 (story.news.yahoo.com)
\_ Hmm. Off by one error. I had to go to the next one to see it.

1/29 For those of you who changed jobs (voluntarily or involuntarily)
recently, what was your pay? I'm trying to get a sense of the job
market. I heard that it has picked up, but there are conflicting
info. Recently == within 2 years (after the dotbomb implosion.
same pay:
lower pay: .
HIgher pay: .
higher pay but my last job was underpaid (and I was cool with that) ..
\_ where's the "yermom" option? why hasn't someone added that??
\_ This one's mom is too ugly.
\_ 30% higher, involuntarily, but that was almost two years ago.
\_ 101k pre-bomb, 125k as bomb was exploding, 120k very post bomb.
\_ Higher pay because my last company was big on stock options, but
lower than what I could have got had I been smart enough to take
more cash.
\_ It's a bit late to give this advice to everyone, but *always*
take more cash over options. There will always be more options
from successful companies and we all know what most of the
options grants from the last 6-7 years were worth. I never let
anyone tell me any bullshit about how many options I'm getting
so they can't give as much cash. Options are frosting. You've
gotta eat the cake.
\_ I will still take the options, cause I am an optionist,
and a gambler, and this is America.
\_ I always took options. I'm not saying I was cash only.
I'm saying I treated the "chat" like it was cash only and
*then* we discussed options as an unrelated topic like
the color of my chair or which monitor I want.
\_ I know someone who took a pay cut to get extra options
and literally made millions by doing so. If you can
make such a deal and afford to do it, it is worth
considering.
\_ It's also the exception. I know hundreds of people
who got laid off.

1/29 What's the difference between ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol? I
went to a drug store and saw products labeled "70% ethyl alcohol",
"70% isopropyl alcohol" and "91% isopropyl alcohol". I just want
something to wipe the skin before a needle injection. (No it's not
drugs.)
\_ use ethyl. it's something you can actually drink. it's safer.
\_ blindness is cool.
\_ isopropyl is used as a disinfectant.
\_ Ethyl=CH3-CH2-OH, Isopropyl alcohol=(CH3)3-C-OH
\_ Use hyodrogen peroxide. Worked on my hair!
